I do think that bluesky has a ton of momentum right now and is a viable alternative. But the thing about microblogging sites is that if the specific people you want to follow aren’t on them, there’s not really a substitute. I know I’ve heard people say that, for example, a lot of japanese game developers are still primarily on twitter (I’ve never been a twitter/bsky enjoyer so I can’t speak to it personally).
Abandoned mine several years ago. Kind of a shame, they were a good option for a while for people who weren’t windows fans but didn’t want to run linux full time. Apple just doesn’t really have any offerings for people who want a desktop that’s upgradeable, but don’t want to drop the money on a Mac Pro.
Yep exactly. Luckily I’m not longer working at one, so I can uninstall it.
It’s definitely iterative but the newer eInk screens are higher res and color. Dunno how refresh rates compare on the color screens.
They were subsidizing them to establish an ebook marketplace. They’re no longer doing so.
I still have my Kindle Keyboard. It still works but the front lighting on new ereaders is a big upgrade. The software was pretty primitive back then too.
I’ve worked places where they required specific TOTP apps. That’s the only reason I had MS Authenticator on my phone
For anyone thinking of investing into Luckey’s company, I invite you to consider the fact that this man has access to the most expensive stylists in the world, and yet he chose to do that to his face and hair. Is this a man whose judgement you trust?
Not that I follow very closely but yeah I believe the original arrest was in Romania. Big cases like this can take years to resolve. Not sure how extradition laws would apply here.
It’s illegal in the US too. But there are still places that do it. Post-COVID a lot of places will have some sort of percentage surcharge that is not a tip but people assume it is and don’t tip.
I’m sure the majority of reddit users either don’t know or don’t care about the events of two summers ago. And with reddit cracking down on more and more content…they may not even know about all of the stuff reddit is cracking down on. How long until a crackdown on posts about reddit cracking down?
So basically, he shot himself directly in the foot, puts a bandage on the foot, and declares the bandage as a victory. And for some reason the stock market cheers for this.🙄
Well also at one point www.domain.com may have actually been a single physical server. That hasn’t been true for sites of any size in a long time.
Huh I can’t find a reference so perhaps what I read was a “in taste tests most people prefer” rather than being based on sales volume. I remember it mostly because it seemed like an odd fact to me.
Er, I seem to recall reading that calrose rice (as pictured in the preview) is the most popular variety in Japan, and the “cal” is California. Is this just about a subset of people who prefer domestically grown varieties?
Shits and giggles.
The first part? Abso-fucking-lutely.
This was a high profile case that was all over the news for weeks. And frankly it looks like a slam dunk for the prosecution. The Biden Justice Department absolutely would’ve brought federal charges.
Not sure how you figure that. Trump is not exactly hands off with the Justice Department.
Not at all surprising and it wouldn’t have been any different under the last administration. From the whole “rule of law” perspective you can’t really not go after somebody who committed premeditated murder on film just because his target was someone that people didn’t like. What the jurors decide to do is a whole different can of worms (although if you ask me to make a prediction, I think they most likely find him guilty).
I did not find it that difficult, but there was a lot of up front homework to make sure you had a compatible hardware configuration due to needing hardware which was supported by the limited number of Mac configurations. I recall running into a problem where I wasn’t getting a picture on my monitor and I could not figure out why since my video card was supported and the drivers were ok. The problem as it turned out? I had my monitor connected via DVI and macs had never supported DVI so there were no drivers. Once the install was done, it pretty much Just Worked. Linux installs are pretty easy these days but debugging problems can be very difficult. The hard part of the hackintosh was keeping up with upgrades, since they needed to be done manually (due to potentially breaking things).
